About Me


šŸŽ“

Academic & Educator

I’m a senior lecturer in Games Development & Programming at the University for the Creative Arts. I teach game engines, programming languages, and software development — with a focus on adaptive audio, technical design, and external tooling for games.

šŸŽ®

Games Developer

I started out in 2012 making Flash games as an audio designer and composer. Over time, I dove into implementation, engine work, and tool development. In 2015, I co-founded Arrogant Pixel, releasing The Tale of Doris and the Dragon — an award-winning indie point and click game.

Open Source

I created and maintain Slamhaus — a lightweight static site generator for devs who want to write fast, flexible websites without bulky tooling. It's open source and built in C++.
